Slide 1 –What are free radicals?

Our body produces highly reactive chemicals called free radicals. Presence of large quantity of free radicals is not good for our health. Free radicals react with cell components and proteins causing physical damage. These constant small damages on a longer period results in major disease such as heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, cancers and ageing.

How antioxidants work?

Antioxidants are substances that prevent free radicals to react with body cell parts and thus avoid damage to them. Antioxidants neutralizes these free radicals by safely reacting with them and blocking the chain reaction that may cause long-term damage to the cells. Antioxidants prevent cell damage and repair injuries to body cells.

Additionally, antioxidants promote self-healing mechanism of the body to repair damages happened to the cell parts.
